BTS’ RM and Jin both own a Rolex Perpetual Day-Date, in platinum silver and rose gold, respectively – but they’re not the only K-pop idols whose luxury watch collections are worth salivating over

Blackpink’s Lisa favours her diamond-encrusted Rolex Datejust and Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, while, Seventeen’s S. Coups bought a Roger Dubuis to celebrate the renewal of his group’s contract

Not every K-pop idol can make it big, but those sitting at the top are paid in the millions per year. Although their earnings might evoke envy in some people, we’re just happy to sit here and appreciate the fruits of their labour, as these young and rich stars have already made enough that they can blow the extra cash on some truly covetable luxury watches.

Read on for five K-pop idols with timepieces we just can’t stop admiring.

The leader of the 13-strong group is known to be so generous that he makes sure to pay for his fans’ meals every time he runs into them in restaurants. Fans often tease him for being “the rich leader”, but the nickname is actually close to the truth.

He recently revealed to Allure Korea that he splurged on a Roger Dubuis Excalibur Spider Huracan to celebrate the renewal of his group’s contract with its company. The watch costs US$54,500, per Modesens.

2. Jaemin (NCT)

Jaemin is known to be a big spender. At 22, he’s already stacked up a Cartier jewellery and watch collection. One of his costlier watches is the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Ice Blue Oyster Platinum 40mm, which was reportedly priced at US$75,000 in 2021. He’s worn the watch on many occasions, both on and off duty.

3. Chanyeol (Exo)

It seems like the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona is a popular model as Chanyeol also owns the same one as Jaemin. Chanyeol’s was reportedly gifted his by his fan club Chanbar, but he is also said to have a personal collection of six Rolexes, reportedly ranging from US$13,000 to US$75,000 in price.
